What else can I help you with?
What basic units of structure and function in the nervous system?
Structure: Brain, spinal cord, nerves throughout the body Function: conveys sensory input to the brain where it is processed
What are two parts of the peripheral nervous system?
The two parts of the peripheral nervous system are the somatic nervous system, responsible for voluntary movements and sensory input, and the autonomic nervous system, which regulates involuntary functions like heart rate and digestion.
What are the two purposes of the input or sensory part of the nervous system?
collecting data and concerting it to nerve impulses.
Does the nervous system control all of the other systems?
Yes, your senses are your brain's interpretation of the input received through the nervous system.
Sensory neurons transmit signals to the?
Sensory neurons transmit signals to the central nervous system, specifically to the brain and spinal cord, where the signals are processed and interpreted. The central nervous system then generates a response to the sensory input, allowing the body to react appropriately to the stimulus.
What is a neuron that transmits a nerve impulse toward the central nervous system is called what?
A sensory neuron transmits a nerve impulse towards the central nervous system. These nerve cells activated by input, transmits sensory information.
What is the stimulus that triggers responses in the nervous system?
The stimulus that triggers responses in the nervous system is typically a sensory input, such as touch, sound, light, or chemicals, that is detected by sensory receptors in the body. This information is then transmitted to the brain and spinal cord, where it is processed and elicits a response from the nervous system.
What transmits impulses between sensory and motor?
Neurons transmit impulses between sensory and motor components of the nervous system. Sensory neurons carry signals from sensory receptors to the central nervous system, while motor neurons transmit signals from the central nervous system to muscles and glands for response. Communication between these neurons ensures coordinated sensory input and motor output.
How does organization work?
The organ system work together as the nervous system recieves sensory input from internal and external sensory reports and directs the musculoskeleton system and gland to response the outside stimuli.
Which of the following best illustrates the impact of central nervous system activity in the absence of normal sensory input?
tinnitus
What do nerves of somatic nervous system control?
The nerves of the somatic nervous system control many different things. They carry the sensory data into the spinal cord, carry information into and out of the brain stem, and integrate sensory input and motor output.
What are three main function of the nervous system and give an example of each.?
Sensory function: Detecting and responding to stimuli from the environment. Example: Feeling the warmth of the sun on your skin. Integration function: Processing and interpreting sensory information. Example: Deciding to pull your hand away from something hot. Motor function: Initiating a response to the sensory input. Example: Moving your hand away from the hot object.
